The ## operator concatenates two pptokens to become one pptoken.
The standard says that if the concatenated form is not a pptoken,
the behaviour is undefined.

Whether later ## would form a pptoken is irrelevant (and not in
fact the case even in your example, as there is an intervening
period).

As Zack and Robert said, just get rid of the pointless use of ##.
